Come on and beat the mets, beat the mets, everybody come on and beat the mets!!!!!
EAT IT NEW YORK!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. OK, now that gloating aside I definately told the Utes today I thought the mets would win, what can I say i have no faith.
Man Suppan... that guy can win game 7s... granted he didn't win tonight but for all intensive purposes he did.
That chavez rob... dagger in my heart.
Now I said this last time when the cards made it the WS, I'm just happy they got there. But truthfully I wanted them to win.... at least one game. This year I'm even more excited that they just got there, I mean lets face it they were the long shots, they were for all intensive purposes the wild card team of the NL in everyone's minds, mine included.
Now do I think they'll beat the tigers? Not likely, would any NL team... probably not. I just want them to win a game, at least one. That way we can end this sweeping of the NL teams in the WS trend.
I'm just so glad that this win came over the Mets, probably the second most hated baseball team behind the Yanks.
I can't watch another series with Roe though, he was so obnoxious during the Red Sox one... and now that the red sox suck and the tigers are good he'll be just as equally as annoying.... next year he'll probably find a new team, he's a nomadic baseball fan.
I have no clue how the cardinals can beat the tigers. The only way will be if for some reason Carpenter, Suppan, and Weaver can pitch a few no hitters maybe.
So here we go, another weak of nerve racking late nights. Plus since both teams are midwestern the games will probably all start at 9PM here and thus end at 1PM or so. I sound like an old man.
Oh well, eat it mets. Learn from the yankees mistakes and realize you can't buy the best team. It takes old cantakerous coaches like Leyland and Larussa.
Great, now if (and most likely when) the tigers win does that mean everybody will start wearing tigers hats? Will Mesh start sporting a Tigers hat? Bill Colrus? Will Scott start wearing one? All I know is when the Red Sox won, it was like everyone became a fan... guys i'm kidding... but I never did see you sporting red sox hats before that year.
Though frankly we should sport tigers hats, I mean look what it did for Magnum PI.... what a stud... and wasn't he Mr. Baseball too?
Go Cardinals.

You're right, it's much more character-building to stick with the Cards through thick and thin than to pick a different team every year that's doing well.

Posted by: Chris T. at October 20, 2006 07:35 AMDude, we didn't even watch an entire game together. You slander Choltie, SLANDER!
I view this series as payback for all the crap you put me through in the Pistons v Spurs series in 2k5 and for this year against the Heat.
Posted by: Josiah at October 20, 2006 09:36 AMMan those Holton genes run true. You're just like Hunt...depressingly pessimistic during the ride, then back on the wagon after the work is done. Oh well, hop back on as the most improbable team to win the world series in the last 50 years keeps on truckin to the finish line. There has to be fate involved in this one. NO TEAM FAILS TO WIN AFTER A CATCH LIKE CHAVES MADE. The way baseball works is a huge play like that, then chaves was supposed to hit a grand slam the next inning when he came up with the bases loaded. I was blown away when that didn't happen. It was like the game I've lived by my entire life turned into a different game. Unbelievable! Well, I think they're about 8-1 underdogs and I feel better about their chances this year than either of their 100 win seasons in the last couple years.
Posted by: Haze at October 20, 2006 03:21 PMChavez's catch is like Pujols homer last year in game 6... a moo point in history. Mooo. A great play that means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Posted by: holton at October 20, 2006 03:24 PMbtw, even if detroit wins you won't see the same number of poser hats out there. the on the band-wagon poser trend was firmly locked up by all the "red-sox fans" two years ago. see, detroit doesn't have really cool people like matt damon, ben afleck, tom hanks et al. to show us how cool they really are. and they don't say cool things like "wicked good" and "barrrnies" in detroit...all very important things when you remember that you've been a fan for years right about game 7 of the comeback against ny.
Posted by: Haze at October 20, 2006 03:31 PMthe phrase is "for all intents and purposes" .... or was that an inside joke that I'm not in on?
Posted by: vern at November 7, 2006 05:12 PMNo i'm just illiterate
Posted by: holton at November 7, 2006 10:49 PMVern, you must be new around here. Holton isn't so much illiterate as he is lazy. He knows that he writes fast (in a stream of consciousness kind of way), but just doesn't care to proof-read or use a spell checker. :D
Oh, and for the record...I've owned BoSox hats as far back as the late eighties.
